minwordlen on a per-word basis?

If minwordlen is turned on (i.e., set to 5), must it apply to all words in a given multi-word query, or is there syntax which can exclude word stemming on some terms in a query and allow it for others?

It always applies to all words in the query.

so there is no way to turn it off per word? Perhaps /word, or would that make it unable to use the index?

/word would not let it use the index, and would find the substring anywhere within a word. If exactphrase is not on then "word a" would disable suffix processing, as it only applies to the last word in the phrase.
